When it comes to helping people decide which Surface is right for them, I'm going to start by gauging their productivity needs. Of course, the Surface Pro 7 is still the better tablet (or 2-in-1, with the Type Cover) for power users, thanks to its faster processors. This Surface Go 2 vs Surface Pro 7 face-off features some surprises, showing how you get more battery life by spending less and how you're not sacrificing screen quality (or webcam excellence) either. The Surface Pro 7 has similar bezels that are neither chunky nor svelte.

Microsoft's decision to shave the Surface Go 2's bezels down makes it fit into the current Surface lineup a lot better. Both feature a strong and sturdy kickstand, and both offer the same strong magnesium chassis. The 10.5-inch Surface Go 2 looks like a shrunken-down version of the 12.3-inch Surface Go 2. But both are the models we'd consider if we bought them for ourselves.Īnnoyingly, neither the Surface Go 2 nor Surface Pro 7 include their Type Cover keyboard or Surface Pen. The Core m3 Surface Go 2 ($629) and Core i5 Surface Pro 7 ($1,199) we tested are both faster and more expensive than the entry-level models. The Surface Pro 7 ($749) may cost almost twice as much as the Surface Go 2 ($399), but it starts with both a faster Core i3 processor and faster (and more capacious) storage (64GB eMMC vs 128GB SSD). The price to value ratios for the Surface Go 2 and Surface Pro 7 are relatively similar.
